    Ultra-cheap DVDs, why or why not

    None of the sites I mentioned are reviewed at resellerratings. The deepdiscount price is $120 higher than the scifiboxsets or myelectronicsshop price.

    Ultra-cheap DVDs, why or why not

    That is what I am concerned about. $158 is an insanely great deal for good quality, but a lot of money for garbage!

    Was Dylan The Best Lyricist Of All Time?

    There are Plenty of Dylan songs that I get and that make perfect sense (Like a Rolling Stone, eg) There are others, however, that remain obscure and impenetrable (All along the Watchtower, for instance.) Springsteen's songs always make sense overall, even when a few passages don't. (The most...

    real world differences between speakers

    Ultra-cheap DVDs, why or why not

    A few websites have DVD boxed sets at exremely low prices. For example, Star Trek Next Generation seasons 1-7 for $158. Is there a reason that they can sell them so ridiculously cheap? If I buy them, how likely is it that they will turn out to be junk (and thus a total ripoff)? Site names...

    Your 5 favorite musical groups - Any genre

    If they don't have an obvious rap influence, I might like them. I think that rap in the broader sense that you are using it is what I think of as "hip hop", and some of that is OK. Love Goldfrapp, by the way. (And Allison is welcome to visit me in my apartment anytime!:D)

    Computer savy? Tunneling?

    Be careful. Wilfully disobeying school rules is grounds for expulsion. Your opinion of the block is irrelevant if they catch you tunneling past it.

    Anything I should know about turntables?

    Why do you want to buy a turntable? Did you inherit a stash of LPs? I do hope nobody has talked you into believing any of that "LP sounds better than CD" nonsense!:eek:

    How Radio Sucks

    I like Nickel Creek and The Duhks. The instrumental CD by Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder is also a great one.

    Calling all Denon owners...

    Have you searched your owner's manual? I think most receivers have a "restore factory defaults" menu option.

    Hole-burning pocket money...

    I am trying to avoid spending any more $ on my stereo for as long as I can. Next time I do, though, it will probably go toward room treatments (something often recommended that I have never tried.)

    How Radio Sucks

    I still have a few old cassettes that I listen to on those rare occasions when I am on the open road. I never listen to anything in traffic (it is too distracting, and can mask sounds that are important to hear.)

    I haven't listened to radio since high school (27 years ago.)

    Porcupine Tree Fear of a Blank Planet DVD-A

    I liked Deadwing, but Fear... just didn't do it for me. Not really sure why.

    Are you buying Blu-ray or HD DVD this Christmas?

    If they had a monopoly on rentals, that would be a valid conclusion. They don't, though.

    Marion confesses...

    I would love to gain that kind of muscle, but I am limited to what I can achieve naturally through excercise. I will not take drugs (or other "supplements".)
